White cis males hardly have an edge in the workforce and really that is only when compared to women. White men are being hired and promoted less than male POC. White cis males used to have an edge in academics, but that is now long gone with male POC surpassing them and even white females surpassing them. White cis males used to have an edge in sports, but there are very few sports where white males excel over male POC.

White cis males = angry
Anger = death in brain cells
White cis males = dumber

Anger triggers a release of cortisol, and one of the results of cortisol is an increase in the uptake of calcium ions through the cell membranes of your neurons (aka brain cells).

This increased uptake of calcium ions causes your nerve cells to fire too frequently and can leads to their death.

Too much cortisol over time leads to a loss of neurons in the areas of your brain called your prefrontal cortex and your hippocampus.

There is no such thing as cis and there is no such thing as white male privilege.

There is no such thing as cis...? You know cis is simply the opposite prefix of trans, right? That's like saying "hetero" doesn't exist, or for that matter that "pre" doesn't exist.

But hey, if you don't believe that "cis" exists, then everyone must be trans, since trans has no opposite. I'm glad you are trans and proud! Fly that trans pride flag high since you're trans!

Your argument is completely illogical. And in fact, it contrast with "trans" but is not exactly the opposite of. It came in to use only to make trans people feel as mainstream as people who not trans. Those of us who are not trans simply do not believe we have to be called "cis" now. People are especially applying it to women, far more than men, which is really just another way of white males to trample all over us and our rights. To the mom who said now her gay child can have more friends because they'll be friend with "girls." I just have to say, I was friends with many gay men when I was younger, but I learned over time, most them secretly--or not even so secretly--hate women. Almost every single one of my so-called "friends" who were gay men, I saw over and over, just treated their female friends with such derision and contempt. I finally asked one of my gay friends who didn't and he said, "don't you know, most gay men just think they are smarter, more interesting, and generally better than most women." It explained a lot.

All the gay men I know are not doing well at all beyond maybe monetarily. They aren't the type of people I enjoy hanging out with. Tons of depression, bipolar disorder, etc. All I've met have some sort of personality disorder and put sex at the center of their lives.

I hope that post is not deleted because it is a clear example of the Hitler level racist rhetoric that is being employed against white men today. It’s undeniable.

pretty much. being a white guy used to be a privilege and a foot in the door. but even with sports, white guys are becoming rarer and rarer. the top qbs drafted in 2023 and 2024 were black. baseball is now overwhelmingly dominated by hispanic and lationo men. basketball has been dominated by black guys for years and remains that way. hockey remains a white sport along with lacrosse, but most people don't consider major league lacrosse to be a 'real' major league sport.

companies can't have too many white guys on a team, or the optics look bad. i've been part of a hiring committee where the statement "yeah, but he's white" has been the only reason why they were excluded when we were down to our top 3 candidates. how is that not discrimination? it is imo!

it's getting to a point where being a white guy is a hindrance instead of a privilege.

A very successful and pretty famous gay man with a circle of similarly successful gay friends once said to me that he believes gay men are often successful type a personality because they are seeking approval and acceptance

I don’t read any of that in that PP’s post. I have had similar experiences. Mainstream people do not ascribe to the “cis” label—even those who are not conservatives. I agree with PP that women being called “cis” is sexist and driving us further into invisibility. As a non-trans woman, I do not accept being labeled as cis. I’m just a woman. And anybody is welcome to call themselves whatever they want as far as I’m concerned. If trans people can demand time called what they want, why can’t women?

I’m very pro LGBTQ but I can’t stand the word cis. Are the people pushing cis the same people who are trying to push Latinx? Cis is such an ugly little word. I refuse to identify with it.

Why is it that gay men are more educated than any other demographic, in terms of four year degrees and post graduate degrees, while straight men are going to college less and less?

My feelings are that you’re basing intelligence on degrees and it comes in many forms as lots of people with degrees can’t hold a simple conversation at a party so give me emotional intelligence, anytime and it doesn’t matter if you’re gay or straight t have it.

Yeah, it’s frighteningly similar to the stuff the Nazis came up with to describe the supposed inferiority of Jews and other “undesirables”. Same exact style of rhetoric.
